Introduction to Device Setup

The Device Setup tool is used to add/edit/modify GE IEDs. The maximum number of devices that can be configured is 100. Upon accessing the Device Setup screen from the EnerVista PMCS Configurator main menu, the following screen will pop up, showing sites (Ethernet and Serial) or devices that you have previously set up:

To save your changes before exiting back to the main menu, click on the [OK] button. To exit back to the main menu without saving your changes, click on the [CANCEL] button.

Add Device – For adding devices to the system

Site Name – 2 fixed names and is either “Ethernet” or “Serial”

“Ethernet” – reserved for devices using Modbus TCP/IP over Ethernet, fiber, etc. Examples are devices with a Modbus TCP/IP option such as the UR, EPM 9650, or serial devices using a Modbus TCP/RTU bridge, such as the Multilin Multinet.
